PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Giovinco]

In the latest inside city khaldoon doesn’t have the look of a man who’s worried about anything

Only cheating to their made rules. If the FFP rules did not exist it means we did it the united way and spend lots of money to assemble a good squad to go on a win leagues.

And they keep tweaking the rules to hamstring us, yet we keep winning

 

[eyalluvitt]

It’s actually both saddening and hilarious how many journos and rival fans are supposed experts in financial law but genuinely havent the first clue on what it entails and why wording and context are so important.

You can understand with the average low IQ rag, dipper & arse fans but it makes you wonder what so called educated journalists do all day,

I thought exactly the same. He was his usual cool as fuck self.

Totally agree @manimanc. Look up cool on Wikipedia and there’s Khaldoon the handsome bastard.
Compare and contrast with any other in the PL and tell me there’s no jealousy.
Kool hand Khaldoon.

jourmalists do not need to be educated in any sense like a lawyer or accountant, they just need to be able to express themselves slightly more eruditely than me or you can, in its broadst sense goldbridge and harris could be classed as journalists and the only manner in which they could be classed as educated is that they're educated enough to tell stupid people what they want to here.

I have to say that the contributions on here over the last few hours have brought to the debate a degree of knowledge, reflection and consideration of context which is entirely absent from discussion of the matter elsewhere. Bluemoon is considering the evidence available to all but those on the inside of the matter: therest (especially the media) are prey to hysteria. An example is Bajkowski's latest offering in the MEN. He claims to be sharing with us the "prediction" made by prof Rob Wilson, " a football finance expert", on the outcome of the IC's proceedings. And City are in for "a significant sanction in terms of a financial penalty, a fairly big apology from City for not disclosing information when they should have done." This will be "a bit of an egg on the face from their perspective" but he " can't imagine how they would be relegated out of the division." All this is because City have "probably sailed very, very close to the wind."

The difficulty is that Wilson appears to have no evidence at all for what he says and he doesn't appeat to think he needs any! This is not a rational view based on dispassionate consideration but "a gut feeling". City have denied all the charges, denied any wrong doing and actually say they have irrefutable evidence to support these claims, but the well educated gut of the professor knows better. Can Lord Pannick possibly triumph over a professorial gut?!

The forces lined up against us are the most formidable since a domestic pet predicted German victory at the world cup of 2006.

Why let a few inconvenient facts get in the way of a good story !

Either they are plain stupid, or they have bad intensions. Not sure which is worse.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Actual Charges: everyone is so happy and feels part of a team.. that's not normal

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

If they are they must have Mark Thatcher at the helm.
One for the FOCs

Or Rio Ferdinand.
One for the substance abusers.

Or Chris Rea.

 

[Silva61]

Could be a lot worse and have spent £600m in two years and still have a wank squad.

Don't believe we ever cheated, what we did was to work round their not so watertight rules, which will just piss them off all the more.

Let's hope we've got them in a checkmate.

Mooooooo!

 

[Father Paul]

No.
As C/L holders we would get a place in 2025/6 comp. (Assuming we win it again this season)
I don't think a points deduction will be made against City and in the unlikely event there is, it wouldn't be anywhere near that amount.

True, but not easy to win the CL of course as we know. Not sure why you think a points deduction will not be made if the boys prove the majority of the charges.

 

[Father Paul]

Any punishment would be proportionate to the volume and seriousness of any breaches.

Nothing else would come into it.

That is a key point the volume and seriousness.
Now,how does one quantify this? Lately some people are trying to attach monetary value to these supposed transgressions and coming up with totals in line with the likes of Everton. This one assumes would carry a relatively small punishment although enough most likely to loose a tight title race.
Others point to a more serious verdict which would in some way involve bringing the PL and football into disrepute perhaps even hinting at fraudulent activity. The penalty for the later, which I hope is a conclusion which is not reached, one assumes would carry a proportionately higher punishment.

 

[johncity]

In theory, three month hearing,three month deliberation and the potential of appeal either way,so it's a fair way off unfortunately.

We might of win a fifth premier league by the time of the outcome love it

 

[KS55]

We will have won a fifth premier league by the time of the outcome love it

Just corrected for reality!

The media this morning are giddy that the three red shirts are active in the transfer market- all going to plan.

"The boys"?
